The Notaries Society

Welcome to the Society Website

The Notaries Society is the representative society for the 900 or so Notaries Public practising in England and Wales. Scrivener Notaries who practise mainly in the City of London are represented by the Society of Scrivener Notaries. From this page you will find various topics of interest to members of the profession and the public alike.

The Notaries Society was founded in 1882 and was incorporated in April 1907, the twenty fifth anniversary of its founding. Membership of the Notaries Society is open to all Notaries in England and Wales, and to other Notaries whose Faculty is derived from the Court of Faculties.

Associate membership is open to all bona fide students and candidates for the examinations. The Society is a membership body for the profession and has no disciplinary functions.

The Notaries Society Distance Learning Centre.

The Society is developing a Distance Learning Course for notaries practising in England and Wales which will be approved by the Faculty Office for the purposes of The Notaries (Continuing Professional Education) Regulations 2010 and which we expect will be awarded three credit points.
